Chapter 425 Shifting the Target

Xu An briefly explained his plan to everyone.

He only concealed the part about having superpowers.

Li Cheng and Guan Shan showed no particular expression upon hearing that Xu An had enmity with the two girls opposite them.

On the contrary, Li Xin was indignant, believing that Xu An's conflict with the other party must have been the result of their mistakes.

Xu An chuckled. He had hesitated before whether to tell these people about the matter.

Now it seemed that rats were indeed reliable; they found trustworthy individuals.

As for Xu An wanting to kill people, it was even less of a concern.

So many people died every day on the lighthouse. If everyone were a saint, countless lives would have been lost already.

After the group finished their discussion, the effective time of the safe house was also nearing its end.

From the vast, endless snow mist, a pack of silver wolves suddenly emerged. Their eyes emitted a cold glint as they stood in the snow, staring fixedly at the humans before them.

The moment the protective shield disappeared.

The leading silver wolf leaped forward, lunging towards the closest individuals.

Those who charged forward first were the ones incited by Su Xiao's passionate words. Wielding various firearms and cold weapons, they slashed towards the silver wolves.

However, the weapons that were capable of harming zombies had no effect on the silver wolves.

As person after person fell into a pool of blood, the fervor of those behind them seemed to be chilled by the wind of the snowfield.

"What's going on? How can't we kill these wolves!"

"My gun can't even penetrate them!"

"Arrows are useless too!"

"What in the world is happening? Could it be that these wolves have mutated to the point of being impervious to weapons? We can't kill them like this!"

"..."

As doubts spread through the crowd, more and more people dared not advance.

They began to feel afraid, to tremble, much like the first time they encountered the unknown horror of zombies.

They instinctively wanted to flee.

Xu An, blending in with the crowd, had no intention of helping.

When someone began attacking the silver wolves, she had been observing their attack patterns and weaknesses.

Just like with the initial zombies, weren't humans the ones who discovered these monsters were virtually indestructible?

But in the end, humans discovered the zombies' weakness: severing their heads could kill them permanently.

Now, Xu An felt the same about the silver wolves before her; as long as their weakness was found, they could surely be killed.

However, there weren't many people as bold and meticulous as Xu An.

Similarly agitated were Su Xiao and Luo Luo, who had been hiding behind the crowd.

"A bunch of cowards can't even deal with a few wild beasts. What should we do? Should we intervene?"

Luo Luo looked at Su Xiao, her eyes filled with reluctance.

Su Xiao's expression was also grim.

Ever since they obtained those strange crystal cores last time, her and Luo Luo's bodies had been unstable, often in a state of frenzy, especially in the past few days.

They vaguely felt their bodies were about to burst, but strangely, Su Xiao didn't feel fear; she even anticipated the changes in her body.

For some inexplicable reason, she felt this was a rare opportunity.

Therefore, she and Luo Luo had been maintaining a passive stance recently.

For some unknown reason, it was as if their bodies were warning them.

But now, seeing everyone in such disarray.

Luo Luo's eyelids twitched inexplicably.

The mercenaries they had hired at great expense were still reliable.

They remembered to protect them at this moment.

"Su Xiao, I have a bad feeling about this."

Luo Luo's gaze swept quickly across the crowd. For some reason, she felt an extremely strong killing intent emanating from them.

However, they had thoroughly checked everyone's information when they entered, confirming there were no enemies among them before they registered with peace of mind.

Since they hadn't offended anyone, where was this intense killing intent coming from?

"Careful!"

As Su Xiao was lost in thought, her body was forcefully pulled. Before she could even react, a mercenary responsible for her protection had his head severed from his body.

In her ears, Luo Luo's frantic and anxious voice cried out, "What are you doing!"

At this moment, Su Xiao felt Luo Luo was her savior. If Luo Luo hadn't pulled her just then.

She herself might have been the one to die.

But this was clearly not the time for the two of them to be stunned. Su Xiao immediately composed herself and dodged the silver wolves' attacks with Luo Luo.

However, the more they dodged, the more Su Xiao and Luo Luo realized something was amiss.

"What's wrong with these wolves? Why are they chasing us relentlessly!"

As Su Xiao and Luo Luo scurried to and fro, more and more silver wolves began to swarm towards their direction.

Even their highly paid mercenaries had lost two men.

Those mercenaries were desperadoes. While they would do anything for money.

They also needed to live to spend their earnings.

What was the use of earning so much money if they died here? Thus, their gazes met in the air.

Taking advantage of Su Xiao and Luo Luo's inattention, several of them quietly slipped away from their sides.

By the time Su Xiao and Luo Luo noticed, it was already too late.

"Damn it! These guys took so much money and are screwing us over like this, abandoning us! When I get back, I'm going to wipe them all out!"

But clearly, Su Xiao wasn't as optimistic as Luo Luo at the moment.

"There's something wrong with these wolves. Haven't you noticed more and more wolves rushing towards us as if they've caught a scent?" Su Xiao pointed to the wolf pack not far away and said to Luo Luo.

Luo Luo, who had been preoccupied with fending off the silver wolves, hadn't noticed the numbers.

Upon hearing Su Xiao's words, she immediately sensed something was wrong.

"But why are these wolves chasing us? And how can these wolves be killed? I'm really about to collapse."

Because Su Xiao and Luo Luo were bearing nearly half of the silver wolves' firepower, the pressure on the others was significantly reduced.

There weren't a few who wanted to play the hero and rescue the damsels.

But as soon as they took a step forward and saw the menacing silver wolves, everyone retreated, feeling cowardly.

Of course, Su Xiao didn't miss this.

While cursing these men as useless, her mind rapidly worked on how to make these men come forward to replace them, allowing the two of them to escape safely.
